i did not vote for ross perot, i voted for george h w bush. but is it illegitimate to say that perot could not articulate the issues he cared about? those are important issues that millions of people care about. i do not agree with those americans that ross perot should've gotten their vote. but to say that person shouldn't be represented is not good democracy. you said, we do not want a clown show. can you elaborate? guest: one argument made, that undermines what we are talking about, is to allow everyone running to be in the debates. we have all sorts of minor trivial candidates who have no chance whatsoever of being elected president. we don't want that. we want a voice on the podium to articulate the views of the large bulk of americans. we do not want to simply open it up and let everyone come in. the republicans and democrats at that point would say we are not going to participate in this. but if you have a system that allows a candidate to earn her or his way into the dsr podium we think that affords the system a better opportunity to h
